Vienna Socialists Jail Workers Who Protest Bad Tenant Laws

VIENNA, June 15. - Twenty-eight militant workers were arrested by the police of the reactionary Socialist Vienna government when they answered the call of the Communist Party of Vienna to demonstrate against the abolition of the law for tenants protection. In spite of a police order forbidding the demonstration large numbers of workers responded. They refused to be terrorized by the provocative acts of the Viennese police, but insisted on completely showing up the real nature of the tenement laws which the socialists of Vienna are advertising as of great benefit to the workers.
